Gamers Have The Most Sex

Trending News: Gamers Have More Sex Than Gym Bros – And All Other Men

Long Story Short

A survey has revealed that gamers have more sex than any other tribe of men, including gym-goers and hipsters. And before you accuse gamers of lying about how much they get it on, you ought to know that the survey didn’t ask the men themselves, but their girlfriends.

Long Story

The stereotype of the frustrated, horny male gamer is a tired one, especially since all kinds of people play video games. But especially, especially since a new survey has shown that male gamers actually have more sex than any other tribe of men – six times a week in fact.

2,357 women who had been in a relationship for the last year were asked to categorise their male partner into one of the following male tribes: gym-goer, hipster, gamer, rocker, dad, nerdy, trend-setter or chav (British slang for the kind of guy who wears knock-off designer clothes and is a little too into hip-hop).

They were then asked how often they had sex with their partner, and the average for each tribe came out as:

Gamer – 6 times a week
Hipster – 4 times a week
Chav – 4 times a week
Trendsetter – 3 times a week
Nerdy – 3 times a week
Rocker – 2 times a week
Gym goer – once a week
Dad – once every two weeks

And in an additional boost to gamers’ self-esteem, they also came out on top in terms of generosity in bed – 59% of gamers reportedly put their girlfriends’ needs before their own. The most selfish in bed were the "trendsetters" – only 16% put their partner first in bed – which kind of makes sense.

We have questions. The survey, conducted by VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, seems to show that most people have sex rather more than is reported in other surveys (in this one, 18-29 year olds have sex approximately twice a week). And obviously, this survey doesn’t compare the lives of single men who fall into these tribes. Plus, what about people who cross categories – the gym-going hipster dads who play games and listen to rock music?

Also, "six times a week" sounds suspiciously similar to the amount of times your mate in high school said he had sex, even if you never saw him with any girls.
